| Scientific title | Human herpes virus (HHV) specific immune effector (IE) cells for prevention and treatment of HHV-related diseases |
| Study objectives | Human herpes viruses, including Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), cytomegalovirus (CMV) and HHV type 6 (HHV6) are common pathogens in humans. In healthy individuals, HHV infection is often self-resolved. However, in immune compromised individuals such as transplant patients, or young and elderly individuals, HHV-related diseases can be lethal. The development of an effective immune response is the best solution to treating HHV diseases. We hypothesise that HHV-specific immune effector cells can be used to prevent or cure HHV infections including EBV-associated lymphomas. Such immune effector cells can come from the recipients own blood, or their allogeneic transplant donors' blood. HHV-specific immune effector (IE) cells will be generated in culture and infused into patients. The safety of this approach, and virus titre and HHV-associated diseases will be closely monitored. The study will determine if HHV-specific IE cells can be used to prevent HHV infections and treat HHV-related diseases. |
| Ethics approval(s) | Institutional Review Board of Shanghai Dao-Pei Hospital, Institute of Hematology, Fu Dan University gave approval on the 10/05/07 (ref: SHDP-2007-0510) |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Human herpes virus (HHV) infections |
| Intervention | The trial enrols paediatric and adult patients with potential of developing HHV-related diseases to receive immune cell infusions. The pre-emptive/preventive arm of treatment is a Phase I/II trial, non-blind, single-site, single-group (compared with historical database) study, and the subjects will be followed up for one year after treatment. Each subject will receive four infusions of HHV-specific immune effector cells after haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, with seven follow-ups: one week after the last infusion, one month thereafter for three months, and every three months thereafter until the end of the trial. The previous sponsor for this trial (up to 02/07/2013) was: Vectorite Biomedica Inc. WR-09, 17th Fl 3 Yuan Qu Street Taipei 001 Taiwan |

| Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s) | EBV-specific immune effector cells |
| Primary outcome measure | 1. Patients' immediate clinical response after IE cell infusion, i.e. body temperature and symptoms related to GvHD 2. Virus titre or DNA copy in blood or tissue biopsy 3. HHV-associated diseases such as EBV-associated post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) Outcomes are measured at 24 hours, day 2, day 3, day 4, day 5, day 6, day 7, week 2, week 4, month 2, month 3, month 6 and year 1. |
| Secondary outcome measures | 1. Production: IE cell preparation success rate - the minimal IE cell number can be generated per subject 2. Efficacy: 2.1. Tracking HHV titre or copy number 2.2. HHV IE cell function analysis in vitro and its correlation with in vivo effect 2.3. Effect on PTLD - for subjects with EBV-PTLD 2.4. Effect on mononucleosis - body temperature and HHV titre will be monitored 2.5. Survival rate and the time required to recover completely from HHV diseases 3. Prevention: determine the time and frequency of HHV disease incidence in subjects after the first IE cell infusion, in comparison to historically-documented uninfused subjects 4. Safety: 4.1. Adverse effect documentation 4.2. National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI-CTC) grade 3 or above respose 4.3. Changes in biochemical parameters 4.4. Complete blood count (CBC) 4.5. SGPT (aspartate aminotransferase [AST]), SGOT (alanine aminotransferase [ALT]), total bilirubin, gamma-glutamyl transferase (g-GT) 4.6. Creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), uric acid 4.7. Physical response 4.8. Life sign changes 4.9. Blood pressure 4.10. Pulse 4.11. Temperature Outcomes are measured at 24 hours, day 2, day 3, day 4, day 5, day 6, day 7, week 2, week 4, month 2, month 3, month 6 and year 1. |
